The last decade was a momentous one for menswear. It was the decade in which men’s fashion finally caught up with womenswear in both creativity and clout. The work of men’s designers was analysed in a way once reserved only for the fairer sex’s creative directors. And the glacial pace of plain old ‘bloke’s clothes’ accelerated, as trends exploded and ebbed away ever more quickly than ever. At the beginning…

The best soap for men is meant to give you a day of freshness without doing a number on your skin, although the prospect of picking out the best product for every purpose can admittedly be a bit daunting. If there’s one aspect of the hygiene market that’s oversaturated today, it’s definitely soap. A lot of men take shortcuts when it comes to cleanliness, we know every one of us…

Ah, hair products. We know ‘em, we love ‘em. From clays to waxes to gels to color shampoos. Wait, what was that last one? Let me elaborate. Also known as color depositing shampoo, hair color shampoo is a type of shampoo that contains pigment and/or other ingredients that absorb into the hair to change its color. Its ease of use is pretty alluring. Compared to a salon dye job, which…

Top shower essentials: go! Sure, you have the obvious shampoos, soaps, and body washes. Call me crazy, but I would add a good back scrubber to that list as well. It’s easy to avoid giving your back the same treatment as the rest of your body when showering. Because it’s harder to reach, it’s easier to neglect, even though it’s susceptible to the same dirt, sweat, and irritation as the…

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. I fear I’ve broken one too many watches. There was my digital design that suffered a fatal blow during an epic upper-body session. And there was my classic chronograph that took one too many knocks at university. And how can I forget the Casio that I dropped under my mom’s rolling car? But I promise to do better. And I have a solution;…

A New Year, A New State of the Collection Well, it’s a new year and that means it’s a new state of the Clicky Bezel watch collection. We’re going to see where the collection stands now: watches that left the collection, watches that stayed in the collection, and new acquisitions from last year. I’ll provide links for as many of these as I can, but because of the nature of…

You’re standing in a menswear store looking at two wool coats. The sales associate calls one a “topcoat” and the other an “overcoat.” They look similar—both are knee-length, both are wool, both cost about the same. You ask what the difference is, and you get a vague answer about formality and weight that doesn’t actually help you decide which one to buy. The distinction between topcoats and overcoats has become…

A good shirt is hard to come by. That is if you aren’t well-versed in the best shirt brands for men. But why should you care in the first place? The importance of high-quality shirts should not be overlooked, as they often set the tone for your first impression. An ill-fitting, tattered number may say, “I don’t care about my appearance,” while a flattering, tailored shirt screams, “I’m the man…

Pierre Mahéo loves flannel. He just can’t wear it any more. “I am maybe the biggest fan of traditional flannel,” the founder and creative director of Officine Générale tells us, “but I can’t wear it anymore.” He still wears the jackets from his flannel suits. The trousers, he says, are too heavy for an office day. That small admission explains one of the more quietly clever things the Paris label…

Picture this: you have been growing your beard out. With the help of the new lengthy follicles, you are now beginning to take the shape of a wisened dude. A dude who’s seen the world. A dude who’s come up against hardship and been hardened by it. However, the little flakes of skin betray this steely masculine image. Time to get the vacuum out? No. You must learn the way…

Afro hair has a reputation for being unwilling to cooperate: more often than not it seems determined to do the exact opposite of what its owner wants. But, while obedience isn’t this hair type’s forte, there are plenty of excellent haircuts for black men to experiment with. That’s because, when treated right, afro hair can shape up sharp and has an unrivalled ability to hold shape well. The key to…

Performance bags usually ask you to accept a compromise. Tough but ugly. Clever but bulky. The Optimal Protective Lid Backpack from Mous, made for the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, is the rare exception: a technical carry that looks like it belongs in a considered wardrobe. It is a 25 litre backpack with 18 purpose-built pockets, an impact-absorbing tech compartment and a cabin-friendly shape that fits under the seat on most…

Stuffing your running shoes and sweaty shorts into a high-street drawstring bag might have been totally acceptable when you were in school. But as a fully-grown man, who’s hopefully graduated from Lynx Africa to cologne by this point, not so much. A suitable gym bag is often nothing more than an afterthought for men. However, if you already struggle to haul yourself off for a workout, the last thing you…
